Hi!
I am quite new to SEBLOD but I love the things I can achieve with it!
I compiled a few forms and I noticed every form submission creates an (standard Joomla?) article in Joomla.
Is there a way to skip the article creation? I just want the submitted data in the database which is already accomplished.
Besides every article creates a new link to my sitemap.
I fiddled with "Content object" to no avail.
I must admit I do not understand yet the specific ways Seblod works and I could not find related help so far.
Hello crank8x,
if you don't need a content view for your content, you can create a form, based on the object "Free".
You have to create manually the table where data will be stored.
After that, each time you create a field, you have to alter your table with the "Add column" :
Regards.
Thank you Lionel!
I have tried to modify my form.
I set content object to Free.
I set format to Free.
After I choose Alter Table and Add column looks like it is not getting saved.
Do I have to create new form? In that case the Alter table checkmark will stay after saving?
Besides I would like to ask why I cannot have already chosen field names in a form? After I chose Name in form A I cannot use the same again in form B and my exported databases have to look like Name1, Name2 etc.
Do I have to create new form?
Yes, You have to create a new content type based on free object

After I chose Name in form A I cannot use the same again in form B and my exported databases have to look like Name1, Name2 etc.
I had to study the database to really understand what was going on.
There are three tables any article will use:
#__content - joomla table
#__cck_store_item_content (this is extra table for all content types based on article)
#__cck_store_form_something - fields specific and only for this content type
If you want to reuse fields for all articles, then padlock for field needs to be open when you create it
